Uploading content from Google Drive into Masset is simple — but it’s important to know that there are two types of content you might be working with:
We’ll walk you through how to upload both.
Standard files (such as PDFs, Microsoft Office documents, images, etc.) can be uploaded directly to Masset, but first, you'll need to make them accessible from your computer's file system.
To access your Google Drive files like any other file on your computer, install the Google Drive desktop app:
Once installed, your Google Drive will show up as a drive or folder on your computer (via File Explorer on Windows or Finder on macOS).

Now that your Google Drive files are available locally:
These files will now be stored directly in Masset and available for all standard workflows.
For Google-native content like Docs, Sheets, or Slides, the process is a little different — but just as easy.
Instead of copying the file itself, this creates a live link to the document within Masset.
Why use this method?
This ensures your proprietary content is indexable by Masset’s AI. That means your Google Docs, Slides, and Sheets will be fully searchable and included in AI Content Conversations and other search features across the platform.
